Autumn in Kaeo




Although it doesn't get too cold up here in the far north we still have a few Autumn colours here and there. At Whangaroa Golf Club there are plenty of trees changing colour and dropping leaves.




These ones on the side of the highway between Kaeo and Whangaroa are shades of yellow, orange and red.




These ones are the same on the other side of the highway, around the corner is the town of Kaeo which has a very small population of approx 495 people. There are shops there, a school, a tavern etc but it's very much a farming rural town.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

Sometimes I wonder what our flat earther friends would say about it not getting cold up in the far north?

Beautiful shots, I especially like the last one with all the converging lines. Great composition.

Have a great weekend!!

Seems that there are more evergreen trees on the North Island than deciduous. I have been enjoying a neighbours maple tree for the past several weeks as it has changed to all the colours you'd expect to see on a fall foliage trip. It looks very much like the trees you found in Kaeo.

Autumn colours are so much more rich and varied than at other times of the year.

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
